=== Nuclear Power and Nuclear Energy in Arcerion ===
Currently there are three nuclear reactors in Arcerion, providing electricity to the Northwest, Arcer Heartland, and Moorden Governorate/Southeast. In the Northwest, the Dunborough Nuclear Power Plant (DNPP) provides the electricity for much of Norham Governorate and the Northern portions of Northlea, and has lines that also provide a majority of the electricity for Telekona and Eastern Kelekona. In central Arcerion, the Heartland Nuclear Power Station (HNPS) provides Arcer farmers and industrial agriculture facilities with almost all of their electricity, save for smaller solar or coal-fired generation plants. Lastly, the Moorden Nuclear Power Plant (MNPP) in Easthampton, the Eastern Aileach Mountains, supplies Southeastern Arcerion, most of the major mining and industrial manufacturing centers in this region, and also sells a large amount of its runoff power to [[Washakara]].

Arcerion has additional plans for two more power plants, the McCallan River Nuclear Power Station (MRNPS) near Easthampton in Southeast Arcerion, as well as the Northlea Nuclear Power Plant adjacent to the city of Presdale, in Northern Arcerion.

Arcerion is dominated by two powerful energy blocs, that are roughly equal in terms of their share of the Arcer GDP's energy sector. In Arcerion, the mining energy producers (ie. coal and natural resource mining) preresents 47% of the energy sector of Arcerion's GDP, whereas liquid natural gas (LNG) and petroleum extraction for crude oil makes up 53%. Of note, the industry accounts for $1.419 trillion, or 48% of the Arcer economy.

Chart
Arcerion has thirteen major power stations, with an additional two (nuclear) stations planned to be finished by 2030. Of these, the most numerous are coal-fired power plants, the majority of which are located in Southern Arcerion due to the proximity to the nation's major coal and mining centers in Moorden Governorate. Nuclear power plants, of which there are three with an additional expansion of two are found across Arcerion, with the noted exception that none are near the Malentine Coast, due to concerns from environmental agencies about the impacts of nuclear waste and potential nuclear catastrophes on the wildlife and marine ecosystems of the [[Malentine Sea]]. The two renewable energy plants are disparate, with one in the Arcer Heartland and the other in Foxhey. The only natural gas power plants are a trip in the Arctic, representing the entirety of Arcerion's natural gas energy generation being located in Howland Governorate.
